    Hi,
    I am wondering if the M1210 is a good deal or not. i am currently looking at the m1210. I am planning on getting the 7200 chip , the dedicated graphics card, 2gb ram (free) and 80gb hd as well as the 3 yr (without complete care). I could probably get it for $1956 tax included. Do you guys think its a good deal? Thank you very much in advance =D

    yes it is worth it. The XPS M1210 is an ultraportable. Meaning you'll be carrying it around a lot. The chances of you doing damage to it is high.

    I considered myself a VERY careful guy, but one unlucky day, 1 week after I bought the computer, I broke the screen. Good thing I had 4 years complete coverage.

    If you're looking to sell it, then it also helps your sale. That's something to take into consideration.

    If you gave them your email address, they'll mail you the order number. You can use this page to check on the status of your laptop.

    That doesn't seem too bad of a deal. The final price of my laptop was a lot higher because of 3 year CompleteCare, the 100 GB hard drive, and Vista Ultimate.
